let's not forget, the main goal of al qaeda is to attack the united states. and we're not going to allow that to happen again. if we're not going to allow it to happen, we've got to go after them in yemen, in somalia and yes, in mali if necessary. >> senator, it seems panetta is raising his voice. it's not clear the administration is really hearing it or they are fully in agreement. you said northern mali has become the largest territory controlled by islamic extremists in the world. we have a defense secretary coming in and a new secretary of state in chuck hagel and john kerry who are known for favoring a light footprint. do you think that they are going to take the action that you believe is needed? >> well, i look forward to raising these questions with them when i get a chance to attend their confirmation hearings in the case of senator john kerry or to meet with him in person in the case of senator hagel. i met this morning with senator kerry to give him an update on this trip. a number of the senators who were on the trip with me met with him, and i am

in a sense, the nra represents a minority of gun owners in the united states. they are concerned about being outflanked in terms of the strength with which they defend gun rights. so the truth is that there are a ton of gun owners whose views are not being adequately represented. when the nra goes off and has an ad of that nature, they are not necessarily representing real gun owners but representing a much smaller group. they are concerned about being seen as too moderate. >> david keen defended the ad earlier. i want to play his defense before you jump in here. here he is. >> the fact of the matter is that the schools in washington that are attended by the elites, not just president's daughters but the sons and daughters of others are protected by armed security. not the secret service. >> is the white house taking this too personally or overreacting? >> i have met david keen and his wife. the ad is pathetic. the nra are a bunch of punks for running the ad. if they stand behind it, why are they removing it from their website. they are getting what they wanted

should the united states be negotiating with these al qaeda linked groups? >> here is the difficulty and you have done great reporting on this. for the last six years this particular al qaeda affiliate has been taking westerners hostages and have been using this for bargaining power. they then use the monetary ransom in order to build their organization. they are also freshly supplied from some of the weapons that they picked up in libya. so we have a situation, frankly, where i think we have to hope that the french foreign legion forces and other forces engage and make very quick progress. i say that because once they get in mali they could do some real damage over the long haul. that is why you don't want this to become a staging ground for the growth of this organization. >> one other thing i heard today was speculation. bp is one of the employers at this joint venture along with the company. these workerser carry on high kidnapping insurance. they have the ability to pay ransom if they need to. and i want to put this very difficult question to you. shoul
